Our kids love playing soccer and Napa fields are few and filled with gopher holes. We are asking our soccer-loving families to participate in a survey to help show your support to the Napa City Council. The City Council has been asked to add new soccer fields and improve existing fields within the Napa community.

We need your support to show that this game we love is growing and soccer facilities are required to support our kids in Napa.

Please take a moment to complete the below survey and let your voice be heard.

Please also forward this survey to any other soccer families that may not have received it. We just need to get the word out and your feedback to show the City Council just how much soccer in our neighborhood is growing.

TOUGH IN TURLOCK: The Napa United soccer team traveled to the Turlock Regional Sports Complex for the 2013 NorCal State Cup soccer tournament, where they were finalists in the Boys U11 Premier age group. Top row, left to right: Coach Alex Feliciano, Kevin

The Napa United Soccer Club Bolts, an under-14 girls team, took first place this fall season in the NorCal Premier Soccer League, Silver 1 Division, Region 5, which also includes Marin and Sonoma counties.

Under the coaching and guidance of coach Chad LeTourneau, trainer Dennis Sweeney and manager Glenn Schreuder, the team defeated the Mill Valley Rockers 3-0 to clinch the title and finish 5-1-2 in league play.

The girls started their season in September with a loss and tie. Though they didn’t lose the rest of the season, they were tied in points with the Ross Valley Breakers going into the final weekend. A win or a tie was needed to secure their first league championship. A strong and determined effort against the Rockers got it done.

Over its final stretch of six league games, Napa United also played in three State Cup matches. They won all three, scoring 15 goals and allowing only two. The Bolts consistently demonstrated strong offensive and defensive skills during the nine-game unbeaten streak, scoring 26 goals and allowing only four.

“The girls have been training three nights a week since mid-February and their desire and hard work ethic paid off,” LeTourneau said. “It took a total team effort to win the league.”

Sweeney was Vintage High School’s varsity boys head coach for 15 seasons before stepping down last year. His Crushers won nine Monticello Empire League titles and the 2004 CIF Sac-Joaquin Section Division I championship.

“Adding Dennis Sweeney this year as trainer has made a huge difference,” LeTourneau said. “Dennis has an extensive knowledge of soccer. The improvement in the girls’ level of play is clearly evident.
